Thrive’s first Overhaul mod is here, with a ton of changes, fun gameplay, and even completely new features.
Features
- Better biome backgrounds.
-
Four new biomes; Ice Shelf, Freshwater, Underwater Cave & Tidepool.
-
More vibrant compound colors (except CO2, which is darker) and with better textures.
-
Compounds are far more abundant, and it is easier to reproduce.
-
To balance out the last change listed:
-Bright red virus clouds spawn that hurt you when absorbed.
-AI microbes move twice as fast. Predators will chase and hunt you, and Prey will flee.
-Microbes drop 90% of their compounds as opposed to 30% when they are engulfed as a reward for engulfing them, since microbes are now faster and harder to catch.
-Procedural microbe generation is changed so that microbes have more unique shapes and tend to have more flagella. -
Chloroplasts and toxin vacuoles are now available in the editor.
-
The editor is more zoomed out.
-
The player is slightly faster.
-
Slightly improves the cell membrane texture.
-
Makes the Nucleus texture slightly translucent.
Installation
- Unpack the mod’s file.
- Navigate to the Thrive folder.
- Back it up somewhere else.
- Copy the Thrive folder in the mod’s file and paste it in the directory the vanilla Thrive folder is in. Replace files when prompted.
Thanks to @UntrustedLife for helping me a lot with this mod. If not for him, this mod wouldn’t have some of its best features.
